His latest and most famous band is the indie-electro project CSS. In 2003, Adriano formed the group with some friends as a joke. He plays the drums and produces the band, besides eventually playing bass, guitar and singing. CSS signed to indie label Sub Pop in the beginning of 2006 to release their first international album, and toured U.S. and Canada in the same year. Another international tour, scheduled for September 2006, is planned, when CSS is going to open the shows of Ladytron.
